Taipei Attractions

李梅樹紀念館入口

Located in the Sanxia District of New Taipei City, it was established in April 1995 as a memorial hall dedicated to the Taiwanese painter Li Meishu and showcasing his works. The hall houses a collection of Li Meishu's masterpieces and various cultural artifacts from his life. Professor Li's creations primarily aim to present the beauty of Taiwan's countryside, with a realistic painting style. His favorite subject was the scenery of Sanxia, filled with his artistic philosophy of "wind, earth, people, and emotions." However, some of his works have a unique style; for example, "The Boy Teasing the Turkey" uses a 3D painting technique, drawing parallels to the world-famous painting "Mona Lisa." Master Li Meishu loved his hometown of Sanxia and devoted much of his life to building the Zushi Temple, making it the most meticulously crafted and longest-standing temple in Taiwan. One of the tour guides in the memorial hall is Master Li Meishu's son, who himself appears in some of the paintings, adding an extra layer of fun and imagination as he explains the artwork.
